Thousands sign petition to legalise vaping

Release: Thousands sign petition to legalise vaping

The Australian people are raising their voices against the recent regulatory changes made by the TGA and are calling for the legalisation of nicotine vaping. As of writing this release, 26,890 people have signed a petition to legalise vaping in response to the TGA’s ban on the import of nicotine vape products.

“The people were not given a voice in this regulatory change,” said Legalise Vaping Australia Policy Director, Emilie Dye. “The TGA announced the rescheduling of nicotine and the change in the import regulations when parliament was not sitting, and the changes are set to take effect before parliament plans to meet again in August.”

“In a Party Room discussion, the majority sided in favour of legalising vaping. There is broad-based support for vaping both in parliament and in the broader public. By using unelected bureaucrats to rewrite regulations, Greg Hunt and the TGA have bypassed the people of Australia.”

“Australians are not quiet; regulators are silencing their voices. The tens of thousands of Aussies who have signed the petition in favour of legalising vaping deserve to have their voices heard.”
